--- Source of the problem = bad printer driver ----

This video will show you how to fix bad spacing between characters in power point like this..

As you can see, the distances between characters look weird and uneven... Even it looks bad in this part

The cause of this problem is the bad printer driver. Yeah I know what’s in your mind, what is the connection between printer driver with the power point. I don’t know how to explain it, but that is the problem.

--- Create a Fake / Dummy Printer for a test---

Let’s try to fix it. First let’s close the PowerPoint then we crate a “fake printer”, just to make sure this problem is caused by printer driver. It’s only for a test; you won’t use this printer for actual printing.

We open device manager.. I’m using windows 10. If you use another windows version, it might be a little bit different way to open device manager.

In windows 10, click the search button then type device manager. Click "Action" > "Add legacy hardware" > click Next > Install the hardware that I manually select from a list > next > click Printers > next > use an existing port > choose LPT1 or: FILE (print to File) > Next > choose the brand and type, anything, it doesn’t matter > next > type a name, for example "Dummy Printer" > Next > do not share this printer > thick “Set as the default printer" > Finish.

--- Do a Test, is the problem solved? ---

Now, let’s see if this way solved the problem

As you can see, now it looks OK… It confirms that the problem is caused by the printer driver.

But… if it still looks messy, then it means this problem is caused by another thing.

--- Update a printer driver to solved the problem ---

However.. If after you use dummy printer as default printer solved your problem, then it means you need to update your real printer driver.

If you already update the driver but the problem still exist, then it means the power point is not compatible with your printer.

As in my case, I use Epson LX-310, I already update the driver, but the problem still remains.

Let me show you in this video. I will revert Epson LX-310 as my default printer.
